Oknoname 113140 dam
Oknoname 113140
Oknoname 113140 is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, near the city of FRANKFORT. Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and has a primary purpose classified as "Other." With a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and functionality.
Situated on the TR-LONG TREE CR river or stream, Oknoname 113140 has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot. Despite being rated as a low hazard potential dam, it is categorized as having a very high risk assessment. The dam has one outlet gate and is equipped with a valve. Although it has not been recently assessed for its condition, the structure remains operational and plays a significant role in water management and flood control in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 113140 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam with unique design and regulatory considerations.
With a notable history dating back to the 1940s, Oknoname 113140 continues to serve as a key infrastructure component in the water management system of Osage, Oklahoma. Its presence on the TR-LONG TREE CR river contributes to the overall water ecosystem in the area, while its low hazard potential and high risk assessment highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. As climate change impacts water resources, understanding the role of dams like Oknoname 113140 becomes increasingly crucial in ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Oknoname 113140
Where does the data for Oknoname 113140 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
